RIO DE JANEIRO -- Two days in a row, Thiago Braz da Silva was celebrated as a national hero in the Olympic Stadium. Both days, Renaud Lavillenie was booed by the home crowd.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach thinks enough is enough.The IOC leader described the booing that echoed around the stands during Tuesdays medal ceremony for the pole vault as shocking behavior, saying it was unacceptable at the Olympics.It reduced Lavillenie to tears, which streamed down his face at the ceremony.I wish this on no one, he said, again shocked that thousands of people would boo him again.Da Silva had an upset win over the defending champion late Monday, and thousands of fans kept on booing the Frenchman as he tried to reclaim the gold-medal position during the thrilling, late-night duel.The raucous booing was meant to unsettle the non-Brazilian. It did. Lavillenie, instead of concentrating solely on his final jump, gave them the thumbs down.Lavillenie condemned the behavior of the crowd soon after his event finished, saying nothing like it had been seen since Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Hitlers propaganda games. He quickly apologized and retracted his statement, but he maintained that the Brazilian fans in the stadium were disregarding the Olympic spirit.If this is a nation where they only want Brazil and they spit on others, then you should not organize the Olympics, he said in the early hours of Tuesday, comments unlikely to endear him with the host nation.So he pretty much knew what was coming at the ceremony for the medal presentations.I expected some whistles, and it would have shocked me, but I didnt expect it to be so violent, he said.During the medal ceremony, Da Silva raised his arms to calm the fans and applauded the silver medal of world-record holder Lavillenie, who won gold four years ago in London.Soon the tears were rolling down Lavillenies face, and it was not because he had won the silver medal.I held it til the moment I no longer could, he said.Lavillenie was consoled later by Da Silva and pole vault great Sergei Bubka, an IOC member.After the ceremony, the stadium announcer for the remainder of competition reminded fans for the utmost respect for all athletes.

"It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said.SEATTLE - After losing five games in a row, the Oakland Athletics were ready for something to go right. So when Josh Donaldson gave the As an early lead with a solo home run in the second inning, his teammates got a confidence boost. "It was nice," Donaldson said. "I could tell on the bench a little bit, everybody could just -- there was a little sigh of relief. We got a lead, and lets play the game the way we know how." A couple more homers by Daric Barton and Brandon Moss helped Oakland add to the lead, just enough to hold off the Seattle Mariners late comeback attempts as the Athletics earned 4-3 win Saturday night. Jarrod Parker (2-5) did his part on the mound, holding the Mariners hitless until Kelly Shoppachs two-out, two-run homer on a 3-2 pitch in the fifth inning. Parker left in the seventh after giving up another two hits and a run. From there, the Mariners made several pushes for a comeback but came up short, stranding runners in scoring position in each of the last three innings as the Athletics bullpen kept pitching out of jams. "Thats something they do," Parker said. "Theyre a confident bunch of guys. For them to get themselves in a little bit of trouble, I dont think they fret. Nobody else does." Jed Lowrie had three hits and an RBI for Oakland, which ended its season-long losing streak. The Mariners were hoping starter Brandon Maurer (2-5) would benefit from 10 days rest -- his spot in the rotation was skipped after he gave up four runs in four innings against Baltimore on April 30 -- but the rookie had another tough outing, allowing three runs on six hits in five innings. "It took a while to settle in there, so I was rushing quite a bit at the beginning," Mauer said. Donaldson opened the scoring in the second, hitting his fifth homer into the visitors bullpen in left field. The Mariners barely escaped falling behind further after Maurer walked Derek Norris and Eric Sogard -- the Nos. 8 and 9 hitters -- on eight straight pitches. Second baseman Dustin Ackley ranged to his left and made a diving stop of John Jasos grounder in the hole to end the inning. Barton added his first homer of the year in the fourth inning to make the scoree 2-0, and the Athletics added another run in the fifth as Seth Smith doubled and scored on Lowries RBI single.dddddddddddd "When you score early, its always huge," Barton said. "Especially right now with the funk we were in." The Mariners offence couldnt muster more than a few walks until their half of the fifth, when Shoppach hit his second homer of the season to right field with two outs and a man on. Moss hit his solo homer in the sixth to push Oaklands lead to 4-2. The Mariners mounted several comeback efforts in the late innings. Justin Smoak and Raul Ibanez hit back-to-back one-out singles off Parker in the seventh, who was relieved by Sean Doolittle. Ackley then followed with another single to score Smoak before Doolittle got out of the jam. The 6 1-3 innings tied Parkers longest outing this season. "We want to get him on a roll," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "One good starts one thing, but wed like to see him get on a roll. And certainly, with losing a few games in a row, it was a performance we needed out of him." Reliever Ryan Cook came on in the eighth and gave up two singles and a walk, loading the bases with two outs. Endy Chavez, who had come on as a pinch runner for Ibanez in the seventh, struck out to end the rally -- Cooks third strikeout of the inning. Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six chances. The Mariners did have men on second and first with two outs, but Balfour got Kyle Seager to ground out for the final out. "Its a good feeling to win," Balfour said. "I just thought it was an all-around great game tonight." NOTES: Oakland OF Chris Young(strained left quadriceps) will start a rehab assignment Monday at extended spring training in Arizona, and manager Bob Melvin said he hopes Young will be activated from the DL on Wednesday. ... Ibanez started in LF for Seattle for the second straight game. Manager Eric Wedge said hes trying to help the veteran get comfortable at the plate, although Jason Bay will likely start Sunday. Ibanez was 1 for 3. ... The Mariners are now 1-12 when their starting pitcher doesnt complete the sixth inning and 0-17 when trailing after seven innings. ' ' '
